1
The following pre -recorded political program is sponsored by TV for Goldwater Miller on behalf of Barry Goldwater, Republican candidate for President of the United States.
2
Ladies and gentlemen, we take pride in presenting a thoughtful address by Ronald Reagan, Mr. Reagan.
3
Thank you.
4
Thank you very much.
5
Thank you and good evening.
6
The sponsor has been identified, but unlike most television programs, the performer hasn't been provided with a script.
7
As a matter of fact, I have been permitted to choose my own words
8
and discuss my own ideas regarding the choice that we face in the next few weeks.
9
I have spent most of my life as a Democrat.
10
I recently have seen fit to follow another course.
11
I believe that the issues confronting us crossed party lines.
12
Now one side in this campaign has been telling us
13
that the issues of this election are the maintenance of peace and prosperity.
14
The line has been used, we've never had it so good.
15
But I have an uncomfortable feeling that this prosperity isn't something on which we can base our hopes for the future.
16
No nation in history has ever survived a tax burden that reached a third of its national income.
17
Today, 37 cents out of every dollar earned in this country is the tax collector's share.
18
And yet our government continues to spend 17 million dollars a day more than the government takes in.
19
We haven't balanced our budget 28 out of the last 34 years.
20
We've raised our debt limit three times in the last 12 months.
21
And now our national debt is one
22
and a half times bigger than all the combined debts of all the nations of the world.
23
We have 15 billion dollars in gold in our treasury.
24
We don't own an ounce.
25
Foreign dollar claims are 27 .3 billion dollars.
26
And we've just had an ounce that the dollar of 1939 will now purchase 45 cents in its total value.
27
As for the peace that we would preserve, I wonder who among us would like to approach the wife
28
or mother whose husband or son has died in South Vietnam
29
and ask them if they think this is a peace that should be maintained indefinitely.
30
Do they mean peace, or do they mean we just want to be left in peace?
31
There can be no real peace while one American is dying someplace in the world for the rest of us.
32
We're at war with the most dangerous enemy
33
that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars.
34
And it's been said if we lose that war and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours,
35
history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening.
36
Well, I think it's time we ask ourselves
37
if we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by the founding fathers.
38
Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro.
39
And in the midst of his story, one of my friends turned to the other and said, we don't know how lucky we are.
40
And the Cubans stopped and said, how lucky you are.
41
I had some place to escape to.
42
And in that sentence, he told us the entire story.
43
If we lose freedom here, there's no place to escape to.
44
This is the last stand on earth.
45
And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except the sovereign people,
46
is still the newest and the most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man.
47
This is the issue of this election.
48
Whether we believe in our capacity for self -government
49
or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess
50
that a little intellectual elite in a far distant capital can
51
plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.
52
You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between a left or right.
53
Well, I'd like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right there's only an up or down
54
man's old age dream the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law
55
and order or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism
56
and regardless of their sincerity their humanitarian motives those who would
57
trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course in this vote harvesting time
58
they use terms like the great society
59
or as we were told a few days ago by the president
60
we must accept a greater government activity in the affairs of the people.
61
But they've been a little more explicit in the past.
62
And among themselves, and all of the things I now will quote have appeared in print, these are not Republican accusations.
63
For example, they have voices that say, the Cold War will end through our acceptance of a not undemocratic socialism.
64
Another voice says the profit motive has become outmoded.
65
It must be replaced by the incentives of the welfare state.
66
Or our traditional system of individual freedom is incapable of solving the complex problems of the 20th century.
67
Senator Fulbright has said at Stanford University that the Constitution is outmoded.
68
He referred to the president as our moral teacher and our leader,
69
and he says he is hobbled in his task by the restrictions of power imposed on him by this antiquated document.
70
He must be freed so that he can do for us what he knows is best.
71
And Senator Clark of Pennsylvania,
72
another articulate spokesman, defines liberalism as meeting the material needs of the masses through the full power of centralized government.
73
Well, I for one resented when a representative of the people refers to you and me,
74
the free men and women of this country, as the masses.
75
This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America.
76
But beyond that, the full power of centralized government, this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize.
77
They knew that governments don't control things a government can't control the economy without controlling people.
78
And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose.
79
They also knew those founding fathers that outside of its legitimate functions,
80
government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy.
81
Now, we have no better example of this than government's involvement in the farm economy over the last 30 years.
82
Since 1955, the cost of this program has nearly doubled.
83
One -fourth of farming in America is responsible for 85 % of the farm surplus.
84
Three -fourths of farming is out on the free market
85
and has known a 21 % increase in the per capita consumption of all its produce.
86
You see, that one -fourth of farming, that's regulated and controlled by the federal government.
87
In the last three years, we've spent $43 in the feed grain program for every dollar bushel of corn we don't grow.
88
Senator Humphrey last week charged that
89
Barry Goldwater as president would seek to eliminate farmers.
90
He should do his homework a little better because he'll find out
91
that we've had a decline of five million in the farm population under these government programs.
92
He'll also find
93
that the Democratic administration has sought to get from Congress extension of the farm program to include
94
that three -fourths that is now free.
95
He'll find that they've also asked for the right to imprison farmers who wouldn't keep books as prescribed by the federal government.
96
The Secretary of Agriculture asked for the right to seize farms through condemnation and resell them to other individuals.
97
And contained in that same program was a provision
98
that would have allowed the federal government to remove two million farmers from the soil.
99
At the same time, there's been an increase in the Department of Agriculture employees.
100
There's now one for every 30 farms in the United States.
101
And still they can't tell us how 66 six shiploads of grain headed for Austria disappeared without a trace, and Billy Solestus never left shore.
102
Every responsible farmer and farm organization has repeatedly asked the government to free the farm economy.
103
But who are farmers to know what's best for them?
104
The wheat farmers voted against a wheat program.
105
The government passed it anyway.
106
Now the price of bread goes up, the price of wheat to the farmer goes down.
107
Meanwhile, back in the city, under urban renewal, the assault on freedom carries on.
108
Private property rights so diluted that public interest is almost anything a few government planners decide it should be.
109
In a program that takes from the needy and gives to the greedy, we see such spectacles as in Cleveland, Ohio.
110
A million
111
and a half dollar building completed only three years ago must
112
be destroyed to make way for what government officials call a more compatible use of the land.
113
The president tells us he's now going to start building public housing units in the thousands, where heretofore we've only built them in the hundreds.
114
But FHA and the Veterans Administration tell us they have 120 ,000 housing units they've taken back through mortgage foreclosure.
115
For three decades, we've sought to solve the problems of unemployment through government planning, and the more the plans fail, the more the planners plan.
116
The latest is the Area Redevelopment Agency.
117
They've just declared
118
Rice County, Kansas a depressed area.
119
Rice County, Kansas has 200 oil wells, and the 14 ,000 people there have over $30 million on deposit in personal savings in their banks.
120
When the government tells you you're depressed, lie down and be depressed.
121
We have
122
so many people who can't see a fat man standing beside
123
a thin one without coming to the conclusion the fat man got that way by taking advantage of the thin one.
124
So they're going to solve all the problems of human misery through government and government planning.
125
Well, now, if government planning and welfare had the answer, and they've had almost 30 years of it,
126
shouldn't we expect government to read the score to us once in a while?
127
Shouldn't they be telling us about the decline each year in the number of people needing help, the reduction in the need for public housing?
128
But the reverse is true.
129
Each year the need grows greater, the program grows greater.
130
We were told four years ago that 17 million people went to bed hungry each night.
131
Well, that was probably true.
132
They were all on a diet. But now we're told
133
that 9 .3 million families in this country are poverty -stricken on the basis of earning less than $3 ,000 a year.
134
Welfare spending 10 times greater than it was in the dark depths of the Depression.
135
We're spending $45 billion on welfare.
136
Now, do a little arithmetic and you'll find that
137
if we divided the $45 billion up equally among those 9 million poor families, we'd be able to give each family $4 ,600 a year.
138
And this added to their present income should eliminate poverty.
139
Direct aid to the poor, however, is only running about $600 per family.
140
It would seem that someplace there must be some overhead.
141
So now we declare war on poverty, or you too can be a Bobby Baker.
142
Now do they honestly expect us to believe that if we add $1 billion to the $45 billion we're spending,
143
one more program to the 30 -odd we have, and remember this new program doesn't replace any,
144
it just duplicates existing programs do they believe that poverty is suddenly going to disappear by magic?
145
Well, in all fairness, I should explain there is one part of the new program that isn't duplicated.
146
This is the youth feature.
147
We're now going to solve the dropout problem, juvenile delinquency, by reinstituting something like the old CCC camps.
148
And we're going to put our young people in these camps.
149
But again, we do some arithmetic and we find
150
that we're going to spend each year just on room and board for each young person we help, $4 ,700 a year.
151
We can send them to Harvard for $2 ,700.
152
Of course, don't get me wrong.
153
I'm not suggesting
154
Harvard is the answer to juvenile delinquency.
155
But seriously, what are we doing to those we seek to help?
156
Not too long ago, a judge called me here in Los Angeles He told me of a young woman who'd come before him for a divorce
157
She had six children, was pregnant with her seventh
158
Under his questioning, she revealed her husband was a laborer
159
Earning $250 a month
160
She wanted the divorce to get an $80 raise
161
She's eligible for $330 a month in the Aid to Defend the Children program.
162
She got the idea from two women in her neighborhood who'd already done that very thing.
163
Yet any time you and I question the schemes of the do -gooders, we're denounced as being against their humanitarian goals.
164
They say we're always against things, we're never for anything.
165
Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant.
166
It's just that they know so much that isn't so.
167
Now...
168
We're for a provision that destitution should not follow unemployment by reason of old age.
169
And to that end, we've accepted
170
Social Security as a step toward meeting the problem.
171
But we're against those entrusted with this program when they practice deception regarding its fiscal shortcomings.
172
When they charge that any criticism of the program means
173
that we want to end payments to those people who depend on them for a livelihood.
174
They've called it insurance to us in a hundred million pieces of literature.
175
But then they appeared before the Supreme Court, and they testified it was a welfare program.
176
They only used the term insurance to sell it to the people.
177
And they said
178
Social Security dues are a tax for the general use of the government.
179
And the government has used that tax.
180
There is no fund.
181
Because Robert Byers, the actuarial head, appeared before a congressional committee and admitted that
182
Social Security as of this moment is $298 billion in the hole.
183
But he said there should be no cause for worry, because as long as they had the power to tax,
184
they could always take away from the people whatever they needed to bail them out of trouble.
185
And they're doing just that.
186
A young man, 21 years of age, working at an average salary, his Social Security contribution would,
187
in the open market, buy him an insurance policy that would guarantee $220 a month at age 65.
188
The government promises 127.
189
He could live it up until he's 31 and then take out a policy that would pay more than Social Security.
190
Now are we so lacking in business sense that we can't put this program on a sound basis
191
so that people who do require those payments will find they can get them when they're due, that the cupboard isn't bare?
192
Barry Goldwater thinks we can.
193
At the same time, can't we introduce voluntary features
194
that would permit a citizen who can do better on his own to be excused upon presentation of evidence
195
that he had made provision for the non -earning years?
196
Should we not allow a widow with children to work and not lose the benefits supposedly paid for by her deceased husband?
197
Shouldn't you and I be allowed to declare who our beneficiaries will be under this program, which we cannot do?
198
I think we're foretelling our senior citizens
199
that no one in this country should be denied medical care because of a lack of funds.
200
But I think we're against forcing all citizens, regardless of need, into a compulsory government program,
201
especially when we have such examples as was announced last week when France admitted that their Medicare program is now bankrupt.
202
They've come to the end of the road. In addition, was Barry Goldwater so irresponsible when he suggested
203
that our government give up its program of deliberate planned inflation so that when you do get your Social Security pension,
204
a dollar will buy a dollar's worth and not 45 cents worth?
205
I think we're for an international organization where the nations of the world can seek peace.
206
But I think we're against subordinating American interests to an organization
207
that has become so structurally unsound
208
that today you can muster a two -thirds vote on the floor of the General Assembly among nations
209
that represent less than 10 % of the world's population.
210
I think we're against the hypocrisy of assailing our allies
211
because here and there they cling to a colony
212
while we engage in a conspiracy of silence
213
and never open our mouths about the millions of people enslaved in the Soviet colonies in the satellite nations.
214
I think we're forading our allies by sharing of our material blessings with those nations which share in our fundamental beliefs.
215
But we're against doling out money government to government, creating bureaucracy, if not socialism, all over the world.
216
We set out to help 19 countries.
217
We're helping 107.
218
We've spent $146 billion.
219
With that money, we bought a $2 million yacht for Haile Selassie.
220
We bought dress suits for Greek undertakers, extra wives for Kenya government officials.
221
We bought a thousand TV sets for a place where they have no electricity.
222
In the last six years, 52 nations have bought $7 billion worth of our gold and all 52 are receiving foreign aid from this country.
223
No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size, so government programs once launched never disappear.
224
Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth.
225
Federal employees, federal employees number two and a half million, and federal, state and local, one out of six of the nation's workforce employed by government.
226
These proliferating bureaus with their thousands of regulations have cost us many of our constitutional safeguards.
227
How many of us realize that today federal agents can invade a man's property without a warrant, they can impose a fine without a formal hearing,
228
let alone a trial by jury, and they can seize and sell his property at auction to enforce the payment of that fine.
229
In Chico County, Arkansas, saw James Weir overplanted his rice allotment.
230
The government obtained a $17 ,000 judgment, and a U .S marshal sold his 960 -acre farm at auction.
231
The government said it was necessary as a warning to others to make the system work.
232
Last February 19th at the University of Minnesota, Norman Thomas, six -times candidate for president on the Socialist Party ticket said if Barry Goldwater became president,
233
he would stop the advance of socialism in the United States.
234
I think that's exactly what he will do. But as a former
235
Democrat, I can tell you Norman Thomas isn't the only man who has drawn this parallel to socialism with the present administration?
236
Because back in 1936, Mr. Democrat himself, Al Smith, a great American,
237
came before the American people and charged that the leadership of his party was taking the party of Jefferson, Jackson, and Cleveland down the road.
238
under the banners of Marx, Lenin, and Stalin.
239
And he walked away from his party, and he never returned till the day he died.
240
Because to this day, the leadership of that party has been taking that party, that honorable party, down the road,
241
in the image of the Labour Socialist Party of England.
242
Now, it doesn't require expropriation or confiscation of private property or business to impose socialism on a people.
243
What does it mean whether you hold the deed
244
or the title to your business or property
245
if the government holds the power of life and death over that business or property, and such machinery already exists,
246
the government can find some charge to bring against any concern it chooses to prosecute.
247
Every businessman has his own tale of harassment.
248
Somewhere a perversion has taken place.
249
Our natural, unalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile,
250
so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment.
251
our democratic opponents seem unwilling to debate these issues they want to make you
252
and I believe that this is a contest between two men
253
that we're to choose just between two personalities well what of this man
254
that they would destroy and in destroying they would destroy that
255
which he represents the ideas that you
256
and I hold dear is he the brash and shallow
257
and trigger happy man they say he is well I've been privileged to know him when
258
I knew him long before he ever dreamed of trying for high office
259
And I can tell you personally I've never known a man in my life I believed
260
so incapable of doing a dishonest or dishonorable thing
261
This is a man who in his own business
262
Before he entered politics Instituted a profit -sharing plan before unions had ever thought of it.
263
He put in health and medical insurance for all his employees.
264
He took 50 % of the profits before taxes and set up a retirement program, a pension plan for all his employees.
265
He sent monthly checks for life to an employee who was ill and couldn't work.
266
He provides nursing care for the children of mothers who work in the stores.
267
When Mexico was ravaged by the floods in the Rio Grande, he climbed in his airplane and flew medicine and supplies down there.
268
An ex -GI told me how he met him.
269
It was the week before Christmas during the Korean War,
270
and he was at the Los Angeles airport trying to get a ride home to Arizona for Christmas.
271
And he said that a lot of service men there and no seats available on the planes.
272
And then a voice came over the loudspeaker and said, any men in uniform wanting a ride to Arizona, go to runway such and such.
273
And they went down there.
274
There was a fellow named Barry Goldwater sitting in his plane.
275
Every day in those weeks before Christmas, all day long.
276
He'd load up the plane, fly it to Arizona, fly them to their homes, fly back over to get another load.
277
During the hectic split -second timing of a campaign,
278
this is a man who took time out to sit beside an old friend who was dying of cancer.
279
His campaign managers were understandably impatient, but he said there aren't many left to care what happens to her.
280
I'd like her to know I care.
281
This is a man who said to his 19 -year -old son, there is no foundation like the rock of honesty and fairness.
282
And when you begin to build your life on that rock, with the cement of the faith in God that you have,
283
then you have a real start.
284
This is not a man who could carelessly send other people's sons to war.
285
And that is the issue of this campaign that makes all the other problems I've discussed academic,
286
unless we realize we're in a war that must be won.
287
Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have told us
288
they have a utopian solution of peace without victory.
289
They call their policy accommodation.
290
And they say if we'll only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he'll forget his evil ways and learn to love us.
291
All who oppose them are indicted as warmongers.
292
They say we offer simple answers to complex problems.
293
Well, perhaps there is a simple answer.
294
Not an easy answer, but simple.
295
If you and I have the courage to tell our elected officials
296
that we want our national policy based on what we know in our hearts is morally right, We cannot buy our security,
297
our freedom from the threat of the bomb.
298
By committing an immorality so great as saying to a billion human beings now enslaved behind the Iron Curtain, give up your dreams of freedom,
299
because to save our own skins we're willing to make a deal with your slave masters.
300
Alexander Hamilton said a nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master
301
and deserves one now let's set the record straight there's no argument over the choice between peace
302
and war but there's only one guaranteed way you can have peace and you can have it in the next second
303
surrender admittedly there's a risk in any course we follow other than this
304
but every lesson of history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement
305
and this is the specter our well -meaning liberal friends refuse to face Yes.
306
that their policy of accommodation is appeasement.
307
And it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight or surrender.
308
If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand, the ultimatum.
309
And what then?
310
When Nikita Khrushchev has told his people, he knows what our answer will be.
311
He has told them that we're retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday, when the time comes to deliver the final ultimatum,
312
our surrender will be voluntary because by that time, we will have been weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically.
313
He believes this because from our side he's heard voices pleading for peace at any price, or better read than dead,
314
or as one commentator put it, he'd rather live on his knees than die on his feet.
315
And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don't speak for the rest of us.
316
You and I know and do not believe that life is
317
so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery.
318
If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin?
319
Just in the face of this enemy?
320
Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs?
321
Should Christ have refused the cross?
322
Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard round the world?
323
The martyrs of history were not fools.
324
And our honored dead, who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis, didn't die in vain.
325
Where then is the road to peace?
326
Well, it's a simple answer after all.
327
You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, there is a price we will not pay,
328
there is a point beyond which they must not advance.
329
And this, this is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater, peace through strength.
330
Winston Churchill said the destiny of man is not measured by material computations.
331
When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we're spirits, not animals.
332
And he said there's something going on in time and space and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.
333
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.
334
We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth,
335

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — पहले शुरू हुआ काम जो अब भी जारी है | has been telling · has been taking |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | has been identified · have been permitted · have spent |
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | is sponsored · has been identified · have been permitted |
| Relative clauses who / which + उपवाक्य — व्यक्ति या वस्तु के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारी | those who had · those who would · people who can |
ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण
वक्ता 94 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे we're, we've, they've। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।
- “th” की ध्वनियाँ: thin /ˈθɪn/, seventh /ˈsɛvənθ/, arithmetic /æɹɪθˈmɛtɪk/
- “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: socialism /ˈsoʊʃəlɪzəm/, provision /pɹəˈvɪʒ.ən/, auction /ˈɔkʃən/, pension /ˈpɛnʃən/, accommodation /əˌkɒm.əˈdeɪ.ʃən/
- लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: socialism /ˈsoʊʃəlɪzəm/, unemployment /ʌn.ɪmˈplɔɪ.mənt/, eliminate /ɪˈlɪm.ɪ.neɪt/, accommodation /əˌkɒm.əˈdeɪ.ʃən/, voluntary /ˈvɑ.lənˌt(ɛ)ɹi/
हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:
- /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: welfare /ˈwɛlˌfɛɚ/, poverty /ˈpɑːvɚti/, solve /sɒlv/, provision /pɹəˈvɪʒ.ən/, wheat /ˈwiːt/
- /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: socialism /ˈsoʊʃəlɪzəm/, preserve /pɹəˈzɝv/, businessman /ˈbɪznəsmæn/, seize /ˈsiːz/, citizen /ˈsɪtɪzən/
- शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: slavery /ˈsleɪvəɹi/, script /skɹɪpt/, slave /sleɪv/, sponsor /ˈspɒn.səː/
इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- 0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर farmer, welfare, socialism जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
